Very cool! I forgot about the functionality to measure E content using the resume button

There is also a guy with an M2 (with S55 engine IIRC so the install is essentially identical to the F80/F82) that installed the Bend Cal kit and posted a video about it. Do a search for it as it should help you. One challenge, among others, is that the wire harness will need to be extended in order to get to the passenger side footwell. Although, Bend Cal was supposedly looking at offering an extended length harness - I don't know if they have done that yet though.

FWIW, there is a PT-CAN tap point that I found in the drivers side footwell based on looking at some wire diagrams, which would not require a harness extension. But I have been unable to find a suitable fire wall penetration point on the drivers side, at least not for 6MT cars…
Thanks everyone! I hooked up the electrical this weekend. I was able to access the drivers side through a small firewall access port (I have DCT) and then I used a coat hanger to run the wire under the center console to the passenger side. I used the plug and play harness but even with that it barely reached the FEM. I was able to hook everything up and it's working great but the wires are under considerable tension. I may eventually do an extension to decrease the risk of an accidental disconnection. Ethanol content of my E85 is 75%, and rolling anti lag works!
